Abstract
Software measurement as an essential part of the software engineering discipline does not consider the measurement process only. In order to support the decision findings in any aspect of software systems or products, software processes and software resources would involve plenty of approaches and methodologies for analysis, understanding and evaluation of software in general. This point of view motivates the consideration of measurement as “software measurement and evaluation” and involves the statistical methods supporting the tasks of the measurement processes themselves.
